I don't believe that discrimination is the reason for atheists not declaring their belief...I believe they are superstitious and are afraid if they say it out loud then suddenly die, they won't go to heaven.

But isn't it odd that it's the personal choice of over 10% of the population yet not one congressman chooses to tell his constituency he is an atheist or makes that choice. |

Atheists do not believe. It's an individual choice with each person not affiliated with other atheists. For the most part they do not seek each other out because it is NOT a belief system in any way. They are discriminated against because people equate atheists with evil, which they are not. Evil is in fact the obverse side of the religious coin. If one declares him or herself an atheist superstitious thoughts do not exist, that is the realm of the agnostic.

Suppose you don't believe in global warming or the tooth faerie. Using your logic wouldn't that mean that it exists? Maybe I misunderstood what you meant.

Not believing the belief does not confirm its existence, it confirms the belief is not reality.

Good news. Home Security correctly vetted Tashfeen Malik this week. At least they now know they were wrong last year. But they got it right now. Perhaps, using the newfound knowledge, they can properly vet new immigrants before they allow entry.
Or is it too much work? |
